Deputizing The Frontline: Enforcing Workplace Rights In A Post-Pandemic Economy, Elizabeth J. Kennedy

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The COVID-19 pandemic exploded against a backdrop of federal retrenchment and repeal of workplace rights and protections for frontline workers, casting a spotlight on systemic racial inequity. While states and cities emerged as the last line of defense for wage standards in the United States, the sweeping application of mandatory arbitration agreements and restrictions on class actions makes enforcing those new rights difficult, if not impossible. A forecasted post-pandemic recession will further undermine the ability of workers to advocate for higher wages and diminish the capacity of enforcement agencies to combat wage theft. Given the enormity of this crisis, any …

Weaseling Out Of Weingarten: Why Outsourcing Investigatory Examinations Does Not Obviate Representational Rights Under The Fslmrs, Craig Westergard

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The Federal Service Labor Management Relations Statute (hereinafter "FSLMRS") grants covered federal employees the right to union representation at investigatory examinations conducted by "a representative of the agency." While the Supreme Court has defined the term "agency representative" broadly, some courts have permitted agencies to evade the FSLMRS by outsourcing examinations to third parties. This trend is contrary to Supreme Court precedent, the text of the FSLMRS, and the purposes of the statute, and it deprives federal employees of their representational rights. As such, it should be repudiated.

Opposite Sides Of The Same Coin: Worker Classification In The New Economy, Griffin Toronjo Pivateau

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Massive changes have disrupted the institution of employment. The growth of the service sector, technological advancements, and developments in the finance market have created a demand for new employment models. Employers have responded by increasingly utilizing independent contractors to fill positions traditionally held by employees.

Designating a worker as either "employee" or "independent contractor" determines the degree to which employment law applies to the worker. An independent contractor falls outside many of the benefits and protections that the law provides employees. Currently, courts, states, and administrative agencies use a confusing array of employment tests, created for different purposes and different …

Measuring Arbitration's Effectiveness In Addressing Workplace Harassment, Stacy A. Hickox, Michelle Kaminski

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The damage caused by workplace harassment for both targets and the employer calls for a fresh look at how harassment should be addressed in American workplaces. This study analyzes both judicial review of employers' responses to harassment and arbitration awards resolving grievances filed by alleged harassers to resolve the question of how employers should respond to alleged workplace harassment. The viability of arbitration as an alternative to the court's mandate to exercise reasonable care is particularly important given the pervasiveness of both harassment and arbitration programs. Awards reviewing discipline imposed on alleged harassers under the just cause standard demonstrate how …
